CORE
Unique ID: NMS-6BF73D
Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
One small bifacial core, of plano-convex shape, largely due to the shape of the natural thermal (frost) fracture of the nodule that was selected as the "blank" for the core. All flake scars are hard hammer struck and some thin cortex remains to the dorsal face, as does a linear flaw in the flint near the centre, the ventral face retains some of the original thermally fractured face. 56 x 41 x 23 mm. 51g.
